[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7876020, member: 7015476"] The point of orcs is that they ARE an evil race. You presuppose a misunderstanding. You are incorrect. They are, classically, matter-of-factly evil. You might as well presuppose that most vampires are actually vegetarians and that people are bigotted for thinking rhey drink blood. No. You are way off base. They DO drink blood. There is no misunderstanding. It is the same with orcs. They ARE evil. This is the only supposition you are meant to make. If you make a different one you do so ignorantly, irrationally, or both. No other options. Stop getting indignantly enraged over your ignorance. Orcs being non evil is a recent thing. If you are using classic orcs you are not using a racist npc choice. You are doing the same thing as when people use evil demons instead of demons who want nothing more than to give teddy bears to needy children. Its prescriptively evil race that preempts all supposition and to get obsessively enraged about it is just the product of a poorly read mind. Read some literature. This is no different than using demons for [I]gasp[/I] evil things. Orcs just happen to be mortal. Ps. Just about tge dumbest argument anyone can make is to take the literal point of a thing which completely invalidates assumptions of racism and to then position it as "racist". When talking about classic orcs, its not a group with the possibility of being simply misunderstood. To assume as much is you entirely missing or denying the point. [/QUOTE]
